by Mr. Drummonp in 1833, from which plants were raised 
that flowered in the open border in the Glasgow Botanic 
Garden in September of the following year. The G8. min- 
ema, Pu. is now generally allowed to be a starved state of 
the present species. 
Descr. Stems decumbent, branched, 1—2 feet long ; 
the branches round, soft with pubescence as is the whole 
plant, often tinged with purple. Leaves sessile, oblongo- 
lanceolate, acute, sinuato-pinnatifid, subincised. Flowers 
axillary, solitary, shorter than the leaf. Segments of the 
calyx scarcely shorter than the corolla. Petals obcordate, 
yellow. Fruit (immature) linear, 4-sided, hairy.
